Teaching Hybrid Principles Of Finance To Undergraduate Business Students Can It Work?

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between course design and predictor variables: motivation, satisfaction, and success for students enrolled in the hybrid Principles of Finance course. The participants for this research project were 117 undergraduate students (encompassing 6 semesters) at Robert Morris University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The results indicate that course design does influence the predictor variables. (A hybrid course combines face-to-face classroom instruction with computer-based learning. These courses move a portion of course learning online and, as a result, reduce the amount of classroom time needed.)
